BitTorrent Client Offers P2P Without Central Tracking
Shiwei writes "While BitTorrent is the most popular P2P protocol, it still relies on several centralized points for users to find the files they are looking. There have been several attempts at making BitTorrent more decentralized, and the latest Tribler 5.3 client is the first to offer the BitTorrent experience without requiring central trackers or search engines. Tribler offers some very interesting technologies; the latest version enables users to search and download files from inside the client. Plenty of other clients offer search features, including the ever-popular Torrent, but Tribler's results come from other peers rather than from a dedicated search engine. Users can search and download content without a server ever getting involved; everything is done among peers, without the need of a BitTorrent tracker or search indexer."
Are you kidding? Once I get my hacked client together to return Rick Astley videos for every search any peer does, there will be even more complaining.
If I wanted a sig I would have filled in that stupid box.
No Bittorrent client will be complete until it has an email client built in. A flight simulator would be nice too.

He is talking about a million uTorrent.
It is, but nobody wants to look up the symbol every time they type it.
In the beginning, there was null.

Hilarious, heart-warming and creepy, all-in-one.
